Uncle Tom's Cabin — Restaurant in England

Really disappointing. After reading the positive reviews, my girlfriend and I visited here on - Saturday 26 February - while staying locally.

At 8pm, the restaurant was nearly empty and so lacked atmosphere. Not the establishment’s fault….

Our shared squid starter was lovely

I ordered the (expensive at £24) rump steak to be cooked medium-rare. It arrived medium-well done. My girlfriend had linguine - which she enjoyed - but it went cold quickly. During the entire time we were eating, no member of staff asked if we were enjoying our food. I’d have raised these issues if so. We only the food because we were hungry.

We declined dessert but my girlfriend requested a Tia Maria coffee…. Who knew this would be such a challenging request?! Firstly, she was brought a cold shot of coffee liqueur. Then a luke-warm coffee mixed with liqueur served in a wine glass!

Even when paying the bill, the (I assume) manager didn’t even ask if we enjoyed our food. Obviously, no tip left.

Overall: lovely place, average food, very...

Tried this place for drinks and dinner recently whilst staying in Cookham. Only a small group of locals in the bar when arrived. Ordered a drink and took a look at the menu. It’s a smallish pub with seating in the front bar area, a small restaurant area to the back and then more seating in a decked area outside beyond which is a very nice garden space.

It was absolutely delicious. This is a wonderful pub and restaurant, very good friendly service, fabulous food, great drinks and in a...

lovely little pub, very cosy and a great atmosphere. The menu however was very limited with only 4 starters on the menu, 1 of which was 'off' the menu and 4 mains. Not being a Burger person or really knowing what celeriac fondants were I opted for the fish and chips. The fish was really beautifully cooked but the pea puree was luke warm and the chips were thin (McDonalds style) and not chunky as you would expect. A choice of only 3 desserts, 1 of which was Baron Bigod and had the description of Pear/Hazelnut/Crisp bread....who knows what that one was?? I skipped dessert... I think better descriptions against each item would be good plus maybe some allergy or dietary information on the menu would also be beneficial. The meal overall was okay but with such a limited menu I cant see that there would enough choice to temp...
